Lucid has the Dillo browser built in, fast and simple but without javascript
Extra downloads include stable and Beta release Browsers
Firefox
Seamonkey includes an HTML editor and Email client
Opera - small and efficient with email client
Chrome - still being optimised but cutting edge
Iron - Chrome with security enhancements

The GL graphic drivers for extra speed
Click on Quickpet and drivers, test for your card
Gnome-mplayer defaults now to X11 video for compatibility with all video drivers (specifically the nv driver). For higher quality, please change to the ‘xv’ driver in Edit -> Preferences. Of course, it might be good also to update to the higher performance driver in Quickpet -> Drivers.

Should I customise?

Of course. Puppy has two Window managers
and more for download
Menu / Desktop / Desktop settings / WM Switcher

Do I need java?

Not usually but it is available in Quickpet
Most browsers already have javascript
(a different language)

Should I pimp my browser?

Oh yeah - they all have add ons
Have a look under Add ons in tools menu of your browser

How do I compile and develop in Puppy?

Use Devx. Go to SFS in Quickpet and click the button. Reboot.
You now have C, Bacon, Vala program languages and other development tools

How do I know what programs I have installed in Luci?

Use the package manager and notice the list of installed software
Be careful now - one click and they uninstall

What is this Puppy called?

It is called Lucid Puppy 5.2
During development the name Luci and Lupu was used for ISO releases
Any meerkats are a reference to 'Maverick Meerkat' Ubuntu 10:10 binaries

Why does Puppy run as root?

Convenience
Puppy users control their environment.
We are designed to load and run from USB or DVD (straight to desktop)
A root running live CD or DVD system remains MORE secure than
an accessible and hackable hard disk install
We are not designed for multi-user deployment.
With great power (over your system) comes great responsibility
(for your data).
Puppy users take charge of their computers. Are you ready?

So technically, Puppy is dangerous?

Very. We bypass network security and firewalls
We can repair and edit other operating systems files such as Windows 7
bypassing administrator limitations
Recommended by security agencies as unhackable when running from DVD
Programs on the CD/DVD are never compromised.
With Puppy, comes great potential
in a small package

How can Puppy Lucid 5.2 be so small and have so many programs?

We choose simple efficient programs.
Puppy is lean Linux muscle power, compressed and expanded
on the fly.
Puppy would be smaller but using convenient .deb ready compiled binaries packages
are not as efficient as Puppy compilation optimisations.
Using Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' files, though convenient,
is a compromise.
